Recruiting studies
- NCT06933875Recruiting
Palliative care support for heart failure patients
This study tests a program to bring palliative care (extra support for comfort and quality of life) to people hospitalized with heart failure. Your doctor will take part, and if you qualify, you may get this additional care during your stay.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06909682Recruiting
AI monitoring with wearables for chronic heart failure
This trial tests an AI system that uses wearable devices and mini-invasive tools to monitor people with chronic heart failure. The goal is to detect changes early and help manage the condition at home.
SalernoAges 19 years+ - NCT06895070Recruiting
Heart transplant study using a special preservation machine
This trial tests a special machine that preserves donor hearts for longer periods before transplant. It may help people waiting for a heart transplant who need a heart from a donor that may be older or has some heart risks.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06455878Recruiting
Mobile app for weight loss in heart failure patients
This trial tests a mobile app that helps you track your diet to manage your weight. It is designed for people with heart failure who are overweight and have recently been in the hospital for their condition.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06885164Recruiting
Remote heart monitoring for heart failure patients
This trial tests whether remote monitoring of heart function can help manage heart failure. It may be an option if you have symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue (NYHA class II or higher) and are between 18 and 90 years old.
Aalborg, DenmarkAges 18–90 - NCT06868797Recruiting
Dapagliflozin for advanced heart failure patients waiting for transplant
This study tests whether dapagliflozin (a medicine already approved for other heart conditions) can help protect kidney and heart function in people with very advanced heart failure who are waiting for a heart transplant. If you qualify, you'll help researchers learn if this drug offers extra benefits beyond standard care.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT06800716Recruiting
Impella temporary pump for end-stage heart failure
This study tests whether using a temporary heart pump called Impella 5.5 can help strengthen a very weak and enlarged heart (dilated cardiomyopathy) in people who are waiting for a heart transplant. If you qualify, the pump is placed to support your heart temporarily, and the research team will check how your heart responds.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06783335Recruiting
Cordella sensor for chronic heart failure
This trial studies a small sensor placed in the lung artery to help manage chronic heart failure. It compares patients who get the sensor to those who receive standard care, to see if the sensor improves outcomes.
Naperville, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06791850Recruiting
Home heart failure support for rural patients and caregivers
This trial tests a home-based palliative care program for people with advanced heart failure living in rural areas and their caregivers. It aims to improve quality of life and reduce symptoms.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 45–80 - NCT06763549Enrolling by invitation
AI-powered wearable patch for heart and lung monitoring
This study tests an AI-powered wearable patch (the COR ECG) to see if it can better track heart and lung health. It may help doctors find problems earlier without needing bulky equipment.
Melbourne, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06736574RecruitingPhase 3
Study of omecamtiv mecarbil for chronic heart failure with very weak heart pump
This study tests an investigational medicine (omecamtiv mecarbil) for people with chronic heart failure and very low pumping strength. It looks at whether the drug can help prevent heart failure events or the need for stronger treatments.
Alexander City, AlabamaAges 18–85 - NCT06724653Recruiting
Reducing Heart Failure Meds After Heart Recovery Study
This trial tests whether it is safe to slowly reduce some heart failure medications for people whose heart function has improved to normal. It is for patients who once had a weak heart pump but now have recovered strength and are stable on multiple medicines.
Jeonju, Jeollabuk-doAges 18 years+ - NCT06595290Recruiting
Faster medication increase for heart failure with weak pumping
This trial tests a new, faster way to increase heart failure medications during a hospital stay, aiming to get patients on the right doses sooner. It is for people with weak heart pumping (ejection fraction 40% or less) who are currently in the hospital for heart failure and are on low doses of standard medications.
Long Xuyen, An GiangAges 18–75 - NCT06699056Recruiting
AI heart monitor study for ejection fraction
This study uses an AI-powered wearable monitor to check how well your heart pumps blood (ejection fraction) from a simple EKG recording. It may help doctors quickly assess heart function without extra tests.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06694727RecruitingPhase 3
Nutritional supplements for heart failure
This trial tests whether nutritional supplements can improve outcomes for people with heart failure. It aims to find an easy-to-follow, practical way to help manage the condition.
HellerupAges 18 years+ - NCT06671015Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods after a breathing tube is removed in people with heart failure
This study compares two types of breathing support—a high-flow nasal cannula and noninvasive ventilation—to see which one better prevents the need for re-inserting a breathing tube in people with systolic heart failure who are at high risk for breathing problems after the tube is removed.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06656832Recruiting
How Heart Failure Progresses in Hospitalized Patients
This study looks at why heart failure gets worse over time. It involves people who have been hospitalized for heart failure and have a known heart abnormality. Doctors will monitor your health to find clues about disease progression.
LeipzigAges 18 years+ - NCT06661876Recruiting
Heart radiation therapy for heart failure
This trial tests if a low dose of radiation to the heart can help people with advanced heart failure feel better and improve heart function. It is for patients whose heart failure is stable but severe, and who are already on the best medications.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06652763Recruiting
MRI scan for heart failure with normal pumping strength
This study uses a special MRI scan with a natural contrast agent (manganese) to look at how well the heart muscle works in people with heart failure who still have normal pumping strength. The goal is to learn more about why this type of heart failure happens.
LeicesterAges 18 years+ - NCT06626685Recruiting
Clonal blood cells in heart failure
This study looks at whether changes in blood cells (called clonal hematopoiesis) are linked to heart failure. By testing your blood, researchers hope to learn more about how heart failure progresses and find new ways to treat it.
BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT06628973Recruiting
Social activities for women with heart failure

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for heart failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 949 recruiting heart failure studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a heart failure trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a heart failure trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
